He's not a raccoon
He's not a dog
He live in the forest
Near the edge of the bog

Oh Tanuki
Oh Tanuki san
Oh Tanuki
You're my number one

A big hat for the storm
A big tail keeps him steady
A big belly keeps him warm
And big eyes keep him steady

Oh Tanuki
Oh Tanuki san
Oh Tanuki
You're so hand handsome

Got himself some money
And a friendly smile
A bottle of hot sake
And swinging all the while are his

Big Tanuki, big Tanuki balls
Big Tanuki, big Tanuki balls

Oh Tanuki
Oh Tanuki san
Oh Tanuki
You're so hand handsome

Big Tanuki
Big Tanuki balls
It's a miracle
They don't make you fall
